South Sudan Arms Embargo Codified

Arms export restrictions were published Aug. 3 for South Sudan, in a rulemaking from the Bureau of Industry and Security following State Department action in February 2018 (see 1802160036). The country was put on the arms embargo list because of the civil war in South Sudan, which is causing a humanitarian crisis, the U.S. says. Arms slated for United Nations or African Union peacekeeping missions are exempted.
